Suggestions, please - no room safe

Mi Lady and I will be utilizing a different resort for our holiday escape from Michigan in December. It will be the first time that we have stayed at a property which doesn't have a room safe or a front desk with a safety deposit box.

I know there are "travel safes" available and I could cut down on my cash by bringing TCs or a prepaid travel Visa card or using ATMs when necessary.

What other suggestions does the board have for how to handle valuables - camera, money, wallet, credit cards, etc. safely without the availability of a room safe? Does anyone have a travel safe that they would recommend?

I realize that any travel safe is just a deterrent and can be defeated with enough time. Thank you very much.

Just wondering.....

I suggest not naming the place you will be staying, as part of your question ☺

You can edit your post if you choose to remove the hotel name, Weathermon & Mi Lady.

Does the office have a safe that you may use? Not sure if that would be convenient, but maybe better than nothing.

Thanks!

Is the owner or some other "trusted" person on site, maybe his " trusted holder" services could be rented???..we had done with Val at Heartbeat if we were a little worried......

Do NOT put it in a little coffee mug on the top shelf ....

I've traveled around Europe, Mexico and the U.S. and usually just lock my valuables up in my suitcase (using a small, but sturdy, key lock) on the suitcase. I've never had problems-- at least so far!

Me, too, although I've invested in a pacsafe (pacsafe.com) which I put inside the suitcase. The pacsafe site no longer has what I purchased, at least on a quick glance.

Consider bringing a less valuable camera, carry less cash (visit atm when necessary), stuff your cash in your bra when you head out the door.

haha Kritter thats my mode of operation and the same wallet I always use......
